EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "NEW YORK HARBOR: ICE, 1881. The Ice-Blockade in the Rivers and Bay" transports us back to a freezing winter day in New York City over a century ago. The wood engraving, created by an American artist in 1881, beautifully captures the harsh conditions of the city's harbor during this time. In the foreground of the image, we see massive blocks of ice floating on the river and bay, forming an impenetrable blockade. These icy ramparts create a surreal landscape that contrasts with the bustling activity usually associated with New York Harbor. A steamboat can be seen struggling to navigate through this frozen obstacle course while sailing ships are trapped motionless in their icy prison. The scene evokes a sense of isolation and vulnerability as nature asserts its dominance over human endeavors. The frost-covered buildings along the shoreline stand as silent witnesses to this battle between man and nature. This historic print serves as a reminder of how extreme weather conditions can shape our daily lives and disrupt even the busiest cities like New York. It also highlights humanity's resilience in adapting to such challenges. Displayed proudly on any wall or mantelpiece, this Granger Collection artwork is not only visually stunning but also offers a glimpse into an important moment in New York City's history – when winter transformed its iconic harbor into an ethereal frozen wonderland.
